Could anyone recommend a good monitor that has resolution and performance characteristics similar to Apple's Thunderbolt display? I'd use an actual Thunderbolt display (going to be using a Gigabyte Thunderbolt MB) but the display is going to be driven by an EVGA GeForce 680 GPU. Primary uses are gaming and design work.

Many thanks in advance!
 
Achieva Shimian, Yamakasi Catleap...etc on eBay.
 
Take a look at these generic IPS screens - lot of positive chatter about them and they are around a third the price of the Cinema display
 
Fascinating... I didn't even know those existed. Is there any one particular model that rises to the top? Also, are there any available in silver? i'd like to make a build that's as Mac-like as possible.

EDIT: Both of the model listed above apparently come in white as an option, but I'm not finding silver.
 
I think they are not available in silver. :)
 
Well I can always go all black... It's just not very Mac-ish. I figure that if I'm going to spend some money on this thing then at least I could avoid making it look like everything else out there. :p
 
Why? The white isn't enough silver?:mrgreen:
 
They have been become cheaper since that article.

A Catleap is $250...:eek:
